Heat oil in a frying pan, stir in the potatoes and chicken stock; Increase heat to high and cook, stirring, until the stock starts bubbling; Reduce heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer gently, stirring every few minutes, for some 20 minutes or so until the stock has evaporated leaving the potatoes with a messy, sticky coating; Remove the lid, sprinkle generously with pepper and the herb mix; Increase heat to moderate and continue cooking, initially stirring continually, then occasionally, for a further 15 minutes or so or until the potatoes are golden, crispy and soft inside

I followed the recipe exact except I took everyones advice and did one whole egg. I think it was too much egg. It was very wet, and hard to form into a patty. I was worried it would fall apart on the grill and fall into it. I formed patties the best I could and put them inbetween wax paper. I put them in the freezer for a couple hours so I had a better chance they wouldn' t fall apart. This worked.

I wouldn' t say this was the best burgers ever. It was good, but different. I thought it was sweet, but had a good burger texture. I would much rather prefer a swiss and mushroom burger or a bacon cheddar burger over this. It was worth trying, but I wouldn' t be adding it to my family dinner routine.

It was good don' t get me wrong, just not my style.

Oct 11, 2005 I& # 39; m learning that cooking is not an exact science. . . Oh sure, you can& # 39; t really deviate on things like baking soda and stuff like that, but most recipes are pretty forgiving of some tweaking here and there. I was so sure I had everything I needed to make this for dinner, only to come home and find I had no mushroom soup OR sour cream.

I used cream of broccoli and skipped the sour cream. I topped with the buttery crackers as indicated in the recipe ( I used Ritz) , but added a sprinkle of some grated italian cheese I had leftover in the fridge. What can I say? It tasted great. I& # 39; m sure the sour cream would have made it better, but this worked out fine. I will try again with the ingredients specified, but it got me thinking - you could probably do a & quot; broccoli casserole& quot; , with frozen broccoli, condensed broccoli soup, and the other ingredients here. Maybe I& # 39; ll try that. . .
